The comments regarding Svetlana looking emotionless bewilder me, I feel she captures the emotion perfectly. Definitely the most beautiful ballerina in my opinion.
It’s just because compared to other ballerinas she has rather a stiffer upper body so her upper body doesn’t “fall” into movements like other ballerinas which makes some people think she’s “emotionless.” But I agree it’s ridiculous, emotions shouldn’t be judged by how “soft” you are it’s about how well you immerse yourself into the role and Svetlana does that EVERY.SINGLE.TIME. Much more so than most other dancers that I’ve seen.
I've watched several videos of this variation just to see if any other could reach those 180° degrees with her legs and I haven't found not even one. She is just out of this universe!
Anthony White I just watched her and she is stunning as well! I think they are one of the few who can do that like that. I have to say I still prefer Zakharova over any other, I'm just obsessed with her. Thanks for your comment!
Zakharova is beyond human! regardless PERFECT technique and lines, she as no other dancer radiates the emotion through the stage, so you can never stop watching Zakharova dance! she is THE BEST THERE IS!!!!
look at her hands, I love her hands, these are like wings of a Swan, her legs completely do anything she wants them to do.. God sometimes creates humans who you don't easily understand where they come from.. I adore her, she is completely unique.. You Russians are the best.. you firstly dance ballet, and later you learn how to walk.. I 'm kidding..sorry if I have made mistakes, but it's been a long time since I last exercise my engish.. From Greece with love.. D
@@ritanicosia to me Svetlana is the best, most perfect, ideal Odette/Odile. She has the musicality, artistry, fluidity and as a bonus her extensions, arms, hands are legendary. she is also great, the best in La Bayadere.
I almost wish I had never seen this version because now I don't enjoy versions from other ballerinas anymore. Even though I know those ballerinas are great, and I was very impressed when I initially saw them, they look ordinary compared to Zakharova.
My ballet teacher was oddette and odile in swan lake for the marinsky ballet At the studio, we will sometimes watch the tapes of her dancing in swan lake It's amazing
Thank you also for your nice reply. There are many dancers as you know, and with their own personal way. I liked Natalia Bessmertnova for the delicacy she bought to these roles. She was the big one around when I was young, much as Svetlana is now. I would love to have seen Pierina in her heyday, but she was way before I was born. I love Svetlana's dancing. We tend often to underrate people like Svetlana when they are dancing. It is only when they stop, people realise how great they were.
Whenever I have the opportunity to watch Svetlana, I always wish for more time as it is easy to get caught up in the beauty and wish for more time. Superb!
As an ex ballet dancer myself I find Svetlana to be perfection. Her balance and control are incomparable. She was born with the right body and flexibilty a true Prima ballerina Assolouta.
I love her demipointe work in pointe shoes. To me few dancers can make demipointe in pointe look good but my god she is the godess of everything ballet
in fact, svetlana zakharova is the best ballet dancer in the world, I read that in a records book, before I read that svetlana was my favorite ballet dancer she'll always be my favorite ballet dancer :)
Probably because some people don't like to see sticks dancing. She is all arms and legs, stilted movements, over extensions, and an ice maiden, no warmth there at all.
Actually Tchaikovsky created this ballet, and if he could have imagined an ideal, I'm afraid Svetlana would have to change into a boy. Anyway, the ideal (female) for this ballet was Pierina Legnani. The ballet was changed by Petipa (ever heard of him?) to suit her, and Tchaikovksy changed the music also.
I think every one has there own special spice. Some things catch the eye for different people. You can say this women is not great, she is, her cat like dancing is a gift, just enjoy it, I know I do !!
@KawaiiMooMoo this is just part of the ballet, watch the full one. it can be found on youtube, you'll know that she isn't just going through the motions.
@KawaiiMooMoo I actually feel the same thing about Svetlana's white swan. You should look for Lucia Lacarra's interpretation of this part of the choreography, she IS Odette.
@KiliniLove a lot of dancers have eating disorders but i happen to be a dancer and a lot of people say i am to thin, but i eat a ton!!! she is my fav. dancer 2
She makes me wanna FRICKIN cry😂(in joy) at 1:41 the music and moment as she hits that last 2nd position arabesque attitude effacé...the lean of her head on the downstage raised left arm All the way up to the broken wrist position is just BEAUTIFUL (take a photo)...an ETHEREAL moment to me!😁👏👏👏🙌🌷🌷🌷
Gosh she's beautiful, such control! but I think she could have had just a little more swan-like movement of her head when she was doing the turns, instead of just spotting.
I would like to add to what MrKLT1945 said about shoes: brands do have their minute differences, but when it comes down to purely the shoe, fit is paramount. No matter how beautiful a shoe may look, if it doesn't fit right it's not for you. If you roll-over then I suggest looking for a shoe with a high vamp, that should pull your arch back a little more. make sure the box is strong enough to support such technology, too. Building strength in the toe metatarsals helps with control, too.
@PerplePrincess4ever i never said i hated it, and i never said that she wasnt an amazing dancer. and how would i know that i dislike this vid if i didnt watch it? how would i be able to form an opinion about someone if i dont watch the videos on them. i dont hate this vid, it really is well done, and she is amazing, but i expected more, thusly why i would only want half of my money back, because it was well done just not one of my favorites that ive seen.
The turns she does towards the end make her look just like a ballerina on top of a little girl's jewelry box. Most perfect Odette ever! Makes me so wish I would have continued with ballet instead of dropping it for high school extracurriculars :(:(
That control, that extension, those arms... Russian ballerinas are a unique and brilliant group of dancers!
Ballerina Badass sooo true

I like how her tutu moves as she finishes and bows to the audience. It sort of bounces, like she's flying away. By far one of my favourite dancers.
It's like her arms are liquid. Just amazing. Art is subjective so everyone has a different opinion but I honestly think she is one of the greatest.
I've watched several videos of this variation just to see if any other could reach those 180° degrees with her legs and I haven't found not even one. She is just out of this universe!
Florencia Aguirre Golletti watch alina somova
Anthony White I just watched her and she is stunning as well! I think they are one of the few who can do that like that. I have to say I still prefer Zakharova over any other, I'm just obsessed with her. Thanks for your comment!
Sylvie Guillem :) She's the one that launched the 'trend', Zakharova among others were very much inspired by her
Florencia Aguirre Golletti Alina Somova also reach 180 degree but in my opinion, she doesn't control her legs as well and beautifully as svetlana
Mas Svetlana é única, meu bem!
Pode não ter sido a primeira mas é a melhor e sempre estará em nossos corações...
She is perfection and makes me melt every moment she dances!
Zakharova is beyond human! regardless PERFECT technique and lines, she as no other dancer radiates the emotion through the stage, so you can never stop watching Zakharova dance! she is THE BEST THERE IS!!!!
1:51 i love this part

Thank you Svetlana Zakharova for her videos.
Обожаю Светлану Захарову!!!
Zakharova is the perfect swan, and Osipova is the perfect Kitri, they are like the ying and yang of perfect ballerinas
Leyla Rustamova, you have said clearly what I have always thought from the first time I saw Natalia dancing Kitri and Sveta dancing Odette 👏👏👏
@@ritanicosia to me Svetlana is the best, most perfect, ideal Odette/Odile.
She has the musicality, artistry, fluidity and as a bonus her extensions, arms, hands are legendary. she is also great, the best in La Bayadere.
@@karennoble1168 I agree at all. Her monologue and Nikya's death are out of this world
I almost wish I had never seen this version because now I don't enjoy versions from other ballerinas anymore. Even though I know those ballerinas are great, and I was very impressed when I initially saw them, they look ordinary compared to Zakharova.
She's incredible
My ballet teacher was oddette and odile in swan lake for the marinsky ballet At the studio, we will sometimes watch the tapes of her dancing in swan lake It's amazing
Who is she?
Everyone in my ballet school LOVES this dancer.....now I know why. shes completely amazing, beautifully talented and just...WOW!!! :D
I have her Swan Lake with Denis Rodkin on DVD... I was mesmerized... it was perfect.
What even is life😱. I love her so much!!!!

The best Odette I have ever seen. Simply perfection.
I just wanna spend my life watching her dances
Whenever I have the opportunity to watch Svetlana, I always wish for more time as it is easy to get caught up in the beauty and wish for more time. Superb!
so delicate and graceful yet so strong and powerful
Breathtaking.
well i have to admit, she is a swan, for real.
It couldn't possibly have been better! The best Odette that I have ever seen. :)
Amazing. She is not a human. Swans will adore her! Where can she store such an energy to dance like this in her extremely light body?
As an ex ballet dancer myself I find Svetlana to be perfection. Her balance and control are incomparable. She was born with the right body and flexibilty a true Prima ballerina Assolouta.
Agnesbutterbun.You are correct with your statement.
oh my god... best Odette variation ever! I love her ballet.
Swetlana is awesome in this swan lake performance....
I love her demipointe work in pointe shoes. To me few dancers can make demipointe in pointe look good but my god she is the godess of everything ballet
She makes it look so natural and effortless! It's amazing!
she is the perfect swan! she makes a 180 angle with her leg that looks so easy while looking like a graceful swan :o perfection
The most beautiful AND perfect Odette.
Svetlana is the best Odette.
She is so amazing!
SHE IS BREATHTAKING!... SO ELEGANT AND WITH A TECNIQUE WONDERFUL... A PERFECT SWAN
in fact, svetlana zakharova is the best ballet dancer in the world, I read that in a records book, before I read that svetlana was my favorite ballet dancer she'll always be my favorite ballet dancer :)
She feels the music and she's movements.

How are there 36 dislikes
Probably because some people don't like to see sticks dancing. She is all arms and legs, stilted movements, over extensions, and an ice maiden, no warmth there at all.

I like to watch the arms and hands. Based on that, this ballerina, in this role, in this scene is perfect.
Did you see her arches at 0:49
She is the best...Perfect....

ella es perfeccion ♥

She is more than swans themselves

tours clearer than my future
She makes me wanna FRICKIN cry😂(in joy) at 1:41 the music and moment as she hits that last 2nd position arabesque attitude effacé...the lean of her head on the downstage raised left arm All the way up to the broken wrist position is just BEAUTIFUL (take a photo)...an ETHEREAL moment to me!😁👏👏👏🙌🌷🌷🌷

yap you are right she is perfect how i wish i could learn ballet!
She is a swan: light and graceful
Wonderful dance
@glamgal2227 It's Tchaikovsky: Swan Lake, Op 20: No 13 Danse De Cygnes: II. Moderato Assai.---Hope that helps :).
Just perfect
she is too aggresive and too worried about taking her leg to a higher level than to actually flowing with the music and being a swan
Carolina Vargas she is the best of the best!
Lopatkina is the best at dancing this piece.
춤선 미쳤다 와 진짜 이뻐요
The turns she does towards the end make her look just like a ballerina on top of a little girl's jewelry box. Most perfect Odette ever! Makes me so wish I would have continued with ballet instead of dropping it for high school extracurriculars :(:(
ahhh.... the goddess of this role...
